BOY'S overnight YOUTH CAMP

CAMP DESCRIPTION: The Villanova Lacrosse Camp is open to all players that are currently in grades 4 through 8. No players that have started high school are permitted to attend. The camp is focused on individual instruction and developing the team player. Instruction and coaching will be geared to the ability and talents of each individual camper. The camp is designed to improve fundamental skills and techniques while advancing the players' understanding of game concepts and team play. All players will be challenged to reach their highest potential by an outstanding staff of college coaches, high school coaches and the best college players from all over the country.

CAMP SETUP: Player will be divided into age and experience appropriate groups.

CAMP STAFF: The camp will be staffed by the Villanova coaching staff, local high school coaches as well as current college players.

FACILITIES: Campers will use both field turf and natural grass fields, including Villanova Stadium. All campers will be housed in on campus air conditioned dormitories and will eat all meals in on-campus dining halls. Dormitories will be monitored by Villanova Lacrosse Camp staff as well as our Villanova Public Safety Office.

Camp Itinerary: Our camp will be broken into three different teaching strategies. We will focus on individual player development with players divided by position and instruction will focus on position based skill instruction. The afternoon sessions will focus on team-oriented concepts. In the evening players will incorporate skills learned into game situations.
